Geographic Information System (GIS) Market | Construction held the largest size in the overall market

The increase in industrialization and urbanization
propels the growth of the market in construction. The growing
construction activities across the world has created a demand for
surveying devices such as robotic total stations, GIS collectors, and
GNNS-based receivers and antennas. Mapping and surveying functions are
the major application areas for construction activities. GIS databases
are widely used in the integration of geospatial data with CAD tools for
engineering and designing of construction projects.

The APAC region is expected to be the fastest-growing
region for the geographic information system (GIS) market. The use of
GIS for transportation planning, highway and roadway management,
forestry management, and precision farming is driving the growth of the
market in this region. With the increasing infrastructural growth in
various countries in APAC, GIS is expected to be implemented in smart
city planning and urban development programs. China is investing heavily
in infrastructure development and urban area planning. This investment
in construction would drive the market for geospatial surveying devices
such as GNSS receivers and GIS collectors.

The growth of the market for
construction in Japan is creating opportunities for geospatial
technologies. With the emerging urban sector in India, there has been a
huge demand for geospatial technologies that support various types of
urban development projects.
